Pacific Parklands Foundation is a registered charity founded in 2000 to support Metro Vancouver’s Regional Parks. We ensure that our park system – which now includes 23 regional parks, four regional park reserves, two ecological conservancy areas, and five regional greenways, remains healthy and strong for future generations.

WHAT WE DO

While ongoing maintenance and operations are publicly funded by Metro Vancouver, the Foundation works with volunteer groups in the park system, as well as individuals and businesses, to bridge the gap between government funding and the pressing demands on the region’s recreation and conservation spaces. We encourage philanthropy and volunteerism, enrich communities, and protect valuable greenspace in Metro Vancouver regional parks.

WHERE WE WORK

Based in the Metro Vancouver area, Pacific Parklands Foundation serves all users of Metro Vancouver regional parks with the goal of educating the public about sustainability issues affecting the parks, and the benefits of an active lifestyle and healthy environment.

OUR IMPACT

In the past 15 years we have successfully completed more than 80 different projects and have collaborated with over 300 different companies, organizations, and individuals on projects.

OUR UNIQUE DIFFERENCE

We are the only charitable organization supporting our regional parks. With the number of visitors rapidly rising, the funding for our parks through taxes can’t keep up. The gap between visitors expectations and what the government is able to provide is widening. Our unique partnership with Metro Vancouver covers our administrative costs which means that virtually all of your donation goes directly to support and enhance your regional parks.

The Pacific Parklands Foundation was founded in 2000 to protect and preserve Metro Vancouver’s regional parks. We understand that healthy parks help build healthy, happy people and strong communities. Please join us!
